I miss reading other people’s blogs. I miss writing my blog. I just miss blogs. The other day Matt explained Substack to me. I scratched my head and said “How is that an improvement over blogs?” It’s a real question for the ages. Anyway…
I was a diligent blogger from 2009 to 2019. I was a shit blogger in 2020 and 2021. I was a blogger no more in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. I hope to pick it back up in 2026 but it feels overwhelming. Where would I start? With an overview of each year that’s passed? Or just start blogging about something random as if no time has passed?
The world feels so much darker now. Blogging seems trivial when our democracy and freedoms are being tested on the daily. On the other hand, the world has always been dark and blogging gave me comfort so I might just give in and start again. Okay, I’ve talked myself into it. Now I just need to find the time. I write all day as a lawyer and all night as a hobbyist (hopefully soon-to-be professional) screenwriter so what’s another hour here or there?
